Mariah Carey’s New Film ‘Push’ Wins Top Awards At Sundance

‘Push: Based on the Novel by Sapphire’, starring Mariah Carey, won the top awards at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival in the Grand Jury Prize (U.S. Dramatic Competition), Special Jury Prize (U.S. Dramatic), and Audience Award (U.S. Dramatic) categories. “This is so important to me because this is speaking for every minority that’s in Harlem, that’s in Detroit, that’s in Watts, that’s being abused, that can’t read, that’s obese and that we turn our back on,” the film’s director Lee Daniels said. “And this is for every gay little boy and girl that’s being tortured. If I can do this … ya’ll can do this.”
